    Ever since the new DC and the SP have taken charge things in Mangalore seem to have improved. Both these officials are young and seem to gel well as a team. They are totally different from the earlier duo who were totally out of sorts and would only take orders from the political masters. They made a total mess of everything. I hope these two continue to be around atleast for a few more years and that our dirty politicians do not attempt to poke their noses in their work.

    A very good order by SP and DC.I think this should be applicable throughout the country as this will help the ordinary people to lead their life peacefully.Voters have done their job and it is the turn of the winners to do their job.Some of the candidates might have got less than 50% of the total vote cast, but may be winners due to many candidates in fray.In reality they have not won the support of the majority.This would happen in the absence of two party system.Any how the winners should be tracked to their contribution for the welfare work being done in their constituencies.

    It is surely an appreciable measure taken by DC & SP of Mangalore Dist. I am sure, certain kind of descipline will previal when these kind of restrictions are put in practice. If people are let free to celebrate victory, city will generally be filled with lot of noise pollution with loud speakers and air pollution with crackers and road blocks and inconvenience due to rallys n processions... Hope Mangalore gets back to some peace, harmony, descipline and  thans  to DC & SP.
